Prothane Subframe Bushings

Right at the mounting points between the subframe and the body you'll find your vehicle's subframe bushings. Typically, OEM subframe bushings are made of rubber. Over time this soft rubber begins to wear and crack. The subframe bushings responsibility, besides mounting, is to dampen road noise and vibration from entering the cab. So once these bushings go, you'll see an increase in noise and vibration into the cab of your vehicle.

Prothane's subframe bushings are made of polyurethane, much more durable material for subframe bushings. With polyurethane subframe bushings you can effectively eliminate wheel hop giving you a faster launch time whether from a starting line or a green light. Not only do you get a performance boost with poly, but you keep it. Polyurethane bushings do not distort or crack like OEM rubber. Prothane covers their subframe bushings with a lifetime warranty that can be handled through our customer service team at DST. A slight increase in NVH should be expected due to the firmer material, but the performance and longevity benefits make Prothane's bushings worth it.

Color

Prothane Red vs Black

Black, or Red? Red, or Black?

Prothane makes bushings in both colors. But is there a difference in them? Is one harder than the other? There are a lot of misconceptions about the color difference in Prothane's bushings, so let us at DST clear that up for you.

How are these two colors different?

Aside from the actual color, there isn't really a difference at all between the red and the black. They are the same durometer, or hardness, so they will perform the same and both should last the life of your vehicle.

What about the graphite rumor?

The black bushings do have a small amount of graphite mixed in with the polyurethane which has the potential to help with squeaking. But really, the best way to prevent Prothane bushings from squeaking is to use the supplied pre-lube* and grease them properly at install. So whether you choose the red, or the black, just be sure to grease them properly to avoid any squeaking.

* Some types of bushings only compress, such as body mounts and endlinks, and do not come with grease because they do not need grease. So if your kit comes with grease, be sure to use it!
